DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY NEW RELEASE :: 21 OCTOBER :: ICE SKATES

Today’s new releases at DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY are a real mixed bag again – and the image I’d like to introduce to you is called
ICE SKATES

Here is the image on a card that is just perfect for a man.  Ice skate images  always seem to be used on feminine cards, using pastels, so I decided to make this a MANLY card, with brown ice skates :

The image was printed onto white CS, coloured, cut with an oval die and then shaded with eye shadow powders.  I used a fixative to set the powders.  Sequins and beads were sewn onto the diecut using invisible cotton (the kind I use for my bellydance costumes.  Alcohol markers are the colouring medium, and I used a white gel pen for some of the highlights.

Here’s a closer look:

Other items from my stash to make up this card are:

white CS card base
blue CS mat
glitter snowflake DP in blues and browns

I added a glossy satin ribbon and bow and some punched snowflakes (they are teeny-tiny):
